    Tiered of stealing joke, Amy Schumer steals the concept of ‘Everybody Hates Chris’. Funny, witty, well scripted, well directed, well acted are not words I’d used to described this show. This isn’t even Batwoman bad, where you can sit around with a bunch of friends and make fun of it.

    The series may make some tonal missteps, and it certainly takes a few episodes for Life & Beth to find its footing, but the overall emotional depth and stellar performances make the comedy-drama worth a watch.

    What’s missing, here, is a unifying sensibility. The inconsistencies are glaring. Life & Beth’s tone lurches from realistic to absurd and back; relatively normal characters suddenly devolve into off-the-wall caricatures. ... The pieces just don’t add up to a satisfying whole.

    Life & Beth isn’t as funny as previous Schumer projects (nor is it trying to be), but I found the adolescent flashbacks particularly enriching to this narrative.
